I can confirm there were problems, but at my end it seems to be working 
again now.

Re: How do you guys make sure XSI files and Softimage 7.5+ files will open in 2016?

[Tim Leydecker]

Hi guys,

after checking through a random selection of *.scn files, I am somewhat 
positive
I´ll be able to open most if not all of my files with Softimage 
2012/2014/2015.


When I was refering to *.obj/*.fbx files, I didn´t mean to suggest that 
should be
the prefered archive format, even thought in my case, there is a high 
percentage
of *.obj/*.fbx files containing assets and easily enough (re)connected 
to their textures.


Personally, I have decided to go through my projects, check for assets I 
like and then make
sure I have at least an *.obj/*.fbx, ZBrush or Mudbox file, Photoshop 
texture base and

finalized maps. Building a salvageable library of parts.

That´s not archiving, that´s salvaging.

Now my real problem is opening older 32bit files, from Softimage 3.9

*.dsc and *.hrc files.

Any way to get access to that?

Those scenes/files I missed to convert to *.xsi or *.scn around Y2k...


Cheers,

tim

I don't know.. just installed XSI ModTool 4.2 (2004 ~11 years ago)
on Windows 8,
Maybe I missed something, (that I should've done for it to not work)
but Install went fine, no button click or other interface issues,
loaded-up sample scenes, & posed-up RedJaiqua
without running it in any sort of compatibility mode, and also
loaded bunch of addons from that time.

But I'm sure Soft will break by tomorrow at most  ;-|

Quick! Move to Maya before it's too late! (the friendly future of
'high-end' 3D?)

If soft wouldn't be run, it would more likely be because our
spirits would have been broken as opposed to the actual software.
